Skoobie, do piracy w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

Ads have never stopped me. Reasonable pricing to access content stopped for me for several years tho. Fuck you, Zaslav.

i have no idea what connection you think there is between piracy and adblockers. if anything, wouldn’t killing all adblockers encourage more piracy, not less?

I don’t see how these two things correlate. Private trackers don’t have ads on them and many public ones that require an account don’t either. Are you still downloading things through a browser with jdownloader?

That is the exact opposite of what needs more seeders.

Four_lights77, do games w PSA: If you still have a Mojang account for Minecraft: Java Edition, you have less than a week left to migrate to a Microsoft account to avoid profile deletion

I’ve tried to migrate my account several times in the past. It never works for some reason. Also, I can never seem to untangle the web of deceit known as Microsoft/xbox/Minecraft profiles and family/group settings. About once a year I spend a couple hours trying to sort it out and then give up because it never works. Google can be awful sometimes but at least they figured out “sign in with Google”

freundTech,

I did it last week and always got an error trying to create a new microsoft account during the migration process, even in different browsers and after disabling adblockers. Then I just manually created a microsoft account on the microsoft website and in the minecraft migration process chose to use an existing account instead of creating one. That worked for some reason.

Kissaki, do piracy w [Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?
@Kissaki@feddit.de avatar

Using a DNS that blocks ad domains works for blocking third party apps. The duolingo video ad still shows up though.

DNS is a OS setting.

Closing an reopening the app works too as a workaround. Progress is saved on completion, before the ad.

exododo, do piracy w A way to disable laugh tracks?

But how would you know when something is funny then? (canned laughter)

You just have to use your judgement and laugh at what you find funny on your own, if you need peer pressure (opinions of others) to find something funny then it’s not really funny to you and maybe isn’t even funny for many people to begin with.

This might be controversial but maybe many Sitcoms that do this were never funny in the first place and used laugh tracks because try as they might they had to force people to find it funny via artificial peer pressure, that either constitutes of a crowd being told to laugh on cue, or a recording of them doing so, which is what a laugh track is.

Here’s the key point and why we stopped using them, things aren’t funny, people think certain things are funny, and they also think plenty of things are not funny, and like it or not people are not always going to find the same things funny.

It was a joke, man.

superkret,

I think the response may have been one too, at your expense.

LazerFX,

I always thought it was because the earliest stuff was actually filmed infront of a live audience (Like a theatre) who did laugh, so when switching to non-live-audience stuff, the viewing public would be ‘put off’ by no laughter, so they injected it with canned laughter… then as time went on they realised this was rubbish and stopped it.

But maybe I’m just missing the joke in the previous two comments, I dunno.

Draconic_NEO,
@Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

In the earlier days it was like that but as time went on it became a technique known as sweetening to make the joke seem funnier, sometimes they would even use it to fill in silence or dead air since that was frowned upon (I wonder why people said TV rots your brain for the longest time… can’t be related to any of these practices could it?).

The beginning part is essentially saying that if people need laugh-tracks to find things funny they are dry and humor-less, a joke at their expense but also at the same time it’s 100% sincere, a person who can’t find things funny without others lacks a sense of humor.

@XeryBlox most people who pirate a lot have automated setups that auto download every. The software stack that's commonly used is *Arr.

Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies and lidarr for music.

There are also no ads when you go to the trackers directly via the API. Same for usenet indexers

I pirate cause the companies that produce what I want are greedy shit bags not because of ads.

scrubbles, do games w Controllers with paddles?
!deleted6348 avatar

The Razer Wolverine is by far the best controller I’ve ever purchased. Got it now… 7 years ago and it’s still just an absolute champ. The initial price may scare off some, and the fact that it’s wired, but it’s the best damn controller I’ve ever used.

Flappers are 2 can be mapped to existing buttons (I have mine as up/down on the D-pad), and the other 2 raise/lower sensitivity of the sticks. So I can hold a flapper while sniping to get real precise.

It also has two little toggles on the inside between the bumpers which I have mapped to left/right on the dpad, which is really nice because I don’t have to take my fingers off the sticks, Witcher 3 this is amazing because what’s how you pull out a specific sword.

Cannot recommend more, Razer Wolverine.

ExLisper, (edited ) do piracy w A way to disable laugh tracks?

I think the best way would be to re-record the audio. Laugh track usually overlaps the dialog a bit so it’s impossible to get rid of it. You just have to find some actors and have them read the script. The casts of most sitcons are not that big. You will need like what? 10 people? You can probably do it with your friends. Then just add some basic sound effects like door closing and cars starting. A bit of work but doable.
